Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improvement in lazy susan devices and, more particularly, in a rotary shelf mechanism for use within a cabinet which has first and second mounting brackets spaced apart and opposing each other, shelf and post securement means which includes a notched plate affixed to a mounting bracket and post insert means having a bracket engaging element cooperatively received by the mounting bracket plate and operable with a noise absorbing member to quietly secure the post in a stationary position. The shelf and opening adjustment means includes a mounting bracket

Problems solved by technology

This shelving has become popular because without it, considerable cabinet space in the corner, either above or below the kitchen counter is wasted due to the inaccessibility of items well back in the corner.
Unfortunately, correction of this alignment problem within such prior art assemblies have not been fully successful to enable the components within the cabinet to conform to the opening, and adjustment frequently requires partial disassembly of the shelf assembly which necessit

Embodiment Construction

Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3, a housing shown generally as 20 forming the ninety degree connector between two runs of kitchen cabinets has an upper end 22, a lower end 24 and an opening 26. Upper end 22 is closed by cabinet top 28, and lower end 24 is closed by cabinet bottom 30. Shelves 32 in the cabinet configuration have a notched 90 degree insert which forms the door 34 for opening 26. Shelves 32 are affixed to a tubular post 36.

Referring now to FIG. 1, tubular post 36 carries on one end a first mounting bracket 38 and on the other end a second mounting bracket 40. First mounting bracket 38 is secured to cabinet bottom 30 and second mounting bracket 40 is secured to cabinet top 28. Shelves 32 are releasably secured to tubular post 36 in a manner to be described subsequently. Shelves 32 will be secured to post 36 so that when door 34 is opened, shelves 32 and post 36 will rotate to provide opening 26.

A shelf and post securing mechanism is shown ...

Abstract

A rotary shelf for use within a cabinet which has first and second mounting brackets spaced apart and opposing each other attached to the bottom and to the top of the inside of the cabinet. The mechanism includes integrally formed shelves, a shelf and post securing mechanism wherein a notched member affixed to a mounting bracket cooperatively receives an engaging member to secure the post and shelves in a stationary position. The mechanism also includes a shelf and cabinet opening adjustment mechanism to permit threadable adjustment of the post and carried shelves with respect to the cabinet opening.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to lazy susan devices and more particularly to a rotary shelf mechanism for use within a cabinet whose post and shelves can be locked positively in a storing position, whose post and shelves can be adjusted with respect to the cabinet opening, and whose shelves are integrally formed.2. Description of the Prior ArtIt has been common practice to provide in corner kitchen cabinets, shelves of a rotatable or lazy susan type. This shelving has become popular because without it, considerable cabinet space in the corner, either above or below the kitchen counter is wasted due to the inaccessibility of items well back in the corner. A considerable number of rotatable corner shelf units are based on the structure wherein a tubular element forms a vertical rotatable axis attached to the shelves. Since the door formed within the structure of the shelving must align with the cabinet opening for an attractive and p...
